26. Eyenology
• Pictures, regardless of how they are created
and recreated, are intended to be looked at.
This brings to the forefront not the
technology of imaging, which of course is
important, but rather what we might call
the eyenology (seeing). - Cartier-Bresson

28. Why the phone
• Using a phone has brought my attention
less to the craft and more to what I am
photographing and why. So, the
question becomes not where I see the
phone taking my work, but where the
work will take me. - Michael C. Brown

36. Why the iPhone
• The difference between iPhoneographers
and the rest of the photography genres lies
in the thousands of photo apps that
allow us to process and share our art
using only an iPhone. You can’t do that
with a Nikon or a Canon. The Android
market is growing, but lacks the sheer
number of photo apps and many of the best
photo apps are iOS only. - Yawnick
